A Thinker's Guide to Living Hell - Tapa dura

In this work the author argues that there is only one reliable road to success in any area of life: adopt a reasonable goal, formulate a realistic plan to achieve that goal, postpone gratification, and work hard in conformity with your plan. Though many people adopt this strategy in various parts of their lives, they rarely adopt it for success in their whole lives. "A Thinker's Guide to Living Well" offers a single plan that explains how to evaluate your health, how to eliminate injurious habits such as smoking, how to eat and drink well, the best way to get the right sort of exercise, how to do your best in school, how to get and hold a suitable job, how to become so wealthy that you won't have to work for a living any more, and - most important of all - how to select a longterm project that will give your life meaning, fulfilment, and tranquility. This book can be read for entertainment, for its philosophical ideas or for profitable instruction.
